Why?Your Chelsea Market clambake spot.

It happens more frequently than one would expect: You’re in Chelsea Market, picking up a whole lamb or side of beef from Dickson’s, when you suddenly have a craving for fish. You also want to sit down because the meat is quite heavy. It’s possible to meet both of these requirements at Cull & Pistol, an elegant restaurant from the Lobster Place crew, secluded from the general market hubbub and wrought of tile, marble, wood and brick. On the menu, it’s an ample raw bar, fish & chips made with oyster-stout-battered hake, grilled swordfish sandwiches, and lobster grilled or steamed. Some maple-bacon baked beans for good measure. Now back into the crowd, beef slung over your shoulder.
